It is honestly getting harder and harder to pretend that I’m okay. People see me smiling or posting something normal, but inside my chest it’s just constant worry.
A lot of my friends are now in Pokrovsk and every day is the same cycle .. waiting for messages, waiting for any sign that they’re alive, that they made it through another night. And then some days… some days the message comes that someone didn’t and it hits every single time.
And on top of that, I look at all the fundraisers waiting. Not only mine but everyone’s. It feels like everything takes twice as long now. Support is slower, people are tired, money is tight. I get it. I know I’m not the only one struggling with this. Every volunteer is feeling the same, every defender running their own collection is feeling the same.
But the problem is that time is something we don’t have in Ukraine. Time equals lives, literally. Every fundraiser ans no matter for which unit or which front is important.
And I know people can’t financially support everyone. Nobody expects that. But sharing? Commenting? Even liking? It costs absolutely nothing. Takes five seconds. And you never know who sees it and decides to help.
I don’t even know how many times I’ve said “now more than ever,” but right now it really feels like that moment is here. We need help. The guys need help. The girls need help. Ukraine needs help. Equipment, cars, med supplies… everything matters.
Just please don’t let the people fighting out there feel forgotten. Don’t let volunteers burn out alone trying to do the impossible.
If you can donate, even a bit it is just amazing. If you can’t, then just share the posts. Boost them. It helps more than people realize.
We just… we really need help right now. That’s all I’m asking.
